"In an office at WRCW, Greenlee sat at her laptop computer and tapped away another phony Incredible Dreams request. Leo entered the office and looked on in amusement. Finally, he broke his silence and sarcastically thanked Greenlee for getting him involved in Tad's on-air swan song. He was sure that his case had been jeopardized. Greenlee groaned that Leo needed to realize that other people had problems of their own. The implication that landing a man was on equal ground with being falsely accused of murder didn't sit well with Leo. Leo smirked and told Greenlee that they do their best work when they're undressed. Leo reached forward to unbutton the young woman's blouse. As he did, Ryan entered the room and asked the pair what they were doing. Greenlee leapt to her feet and claimed that Leo had been helping her with ideas for the web site. Ryan, though no longer an employee at WRCW, had agreed to drop by and smooth things over with advertisers who'd been unnerved by Tad's resignation. Becca wandered in and told Ryan that one of his appointments had arrived. Becca tried to leave with Ryan, but Leo called out to her and asked to speak with her. Becca turned him down coldly, so Greenlee jumped into the act. She told Becca that the "betting to get into bed" fiasco was her idea and that Leo had nothing to do with it. That still didn't make Becca feel any better. Greenlee went on to say that she'd actually been trying to do a good thing by making the bet. According to Greenlee, she wanted to fix Leo up and thought that Becca was a perfect match --- so she concocted the bet to nudge them together. Becca nodded her head and told Greenlee that she was sorry for misunderstanding her. She then broke into hysterical laughter. "My Granny Tyree has chickens smarter than the two of you," she cracked. Greenlee admitted that her lie was rather lame, but she continued to assert that she hadn't meant any harm and still wanted Leo and Becca to together. Becca sassed that Greenlee had a better chance of "gaining twenty pounds and wearing spandex." Becca turned and walked away and Leo once again lashed out at Greenlee for wrecking things for him. Greenlee rolled her eyes and asked herself why she'd ever let Leo seduce her. Leo's eyes widened as he corrected Greenlee: She had "begged" him for sex. Greenlee gasped loudly and slugged Leo in the stomach.
Liza hovered around Chandler Mansion looking for Adam. He finally showed up just as she was on her way out the door. She stuck around and tried to convince Adam that he had to get on with his life --- as hard as that may be. "You can't give up. You're not dead," Liza said softly. In truly atypical fashion, Adam told Liza that he no longer wanted to be Adam Chandler. He reminded her that she had Power of Attorney, and he urged her to use it to run Chandler Enterprises. Liza agreed to do that for him, but made him promise that he'd stay at the mansion; she and Colby would be moving to the Gatehouse. One day, Liza assured him, he'd wake up and realize that he was still Adam Chandler. Liza told Adam that she and her mother were going to the police station to retrieve Stuart's belongings. After Liza left, Adam vowed that he did not need anyone's help. "Adam Chandler's dead," he growled. Adam was about to smash a vase, but he stopped when a voice called out to him.
At the police station, Liza watched as Marian tearfully went through Stuart's personal effects. She came across a scorched cardboard box. She smiled and told her daughter that the box contained a desk of cards that Stuart had had specially designed. Marian's face had been placed on each of the four queens in the deck.
On their way to Las Vegas, Esther's truck broke down. They were forced to walk at least five miles in the arid conditions. They found refuge at an out of the way restaurant where a father and daughter were bickering over a one-way bus ticket to Las Vegas. The young woman, who preferred the name Marilyn to her given name of Mary Lynn, explained to her dad that her boyfriend had given her the ticket. Judd snapped that the "shifty-eyed handyman" couldn't be trusted and tore the ticket in half. Esther looked around and told Stuart that she wanted to get her vehicle fixed as quickly as possible and then get back on the road. Stuart overheard the father and daughter arguing and misunderstood the young woman's name. "Did you say your name was Marian?" he asked. "Marilyn," Esther shouted nervously. Her eyes bulged as she feared that Stuart's memory was returning. Judd wanted his daughter, the resident car expert, to make the couple breakfast because he feared that she'd steal the truck. Apparently, Marilyn had already done time in a juvenile detention center for auto theft and one more incident would land her in prison. She refused and was ordered to her room. Judd headed to the kitchen and Marilyn stormed off. Judd would later return and ask Stuart and Esther about their travel plans. He was intrigued by Stuart's memory loss. Judd returned to the kitchen and Esther went off to use the restroom. Stuart passed the time by playing a game of solitaire. Marilyn returned and pleaded with Stuart to take her to Nevada. She winked and said that she had "a thing" for older men. Stuart smiled and told the young woman that he could somehow sense that she wasn't like that. Stuart plopped down a pair of cards, but Marilyn told him that one cannot place two red cards together when playing Solitaire. Stuart shrugged and commented that he's always felt that the King and Queen of Hearts should always be together. Breakfast was served, but Stuart didn't eat much. Instead, he stared at the king and queen. Esther asked Judd if they could try to fix the truck so that they could get on the road. Judd, who'd only recently opened up the restaurant and neighboring filling station, exited the kitchen with a large wooden sign reading, "Queen of Hearts" printed on it. Esther pleaded with Stuart that it was time to go, but Stuart sternly commented that he needed to stay there.
At SOS, a group of teenage girls screamed and hollered in anticipation of Christian Burns appearance. Adrian tried to calm them down, but he had little luck. Tina dropped by to pick up her paycheck. Adrian asked that she help him out, but she agreed only after he agreed to pay her time-and-a-half. The pair continued their minor tiff about Tina's choice of profession. Tina continued to insist that Adrian had had things better growing up. Adrian, on the other hand, blasted Tina for making assumptions about his life. Adrian stepped away momentarily when a young man wearing sunglasses sneaked behind the bar. Adrian grabbed the man by the collar and plopped him on top of the counter. The young women went wild; Adrian had just manhandled the special guest. After the autographs were signed, all of the young women filed out of the restaurant. Adrian and Christian engaged in some humorous banter about the way the singer had been manhandled. Tina wandered by and explained a bit about how Incredible Dreams works. Christian loved the idea and agreed to head off to the hospital to see his young fan. Tina told Adrian that she wanted to talk about what was troubling them, but Adrian told her that he's not one to "spill [his] guts." Tina nodded and said that he was like that because he's always had so much more to lose than her.
Back at the station, Leo doubled over in pain as Ryan returned to the office. Greenlee told him that Christian was en route to the hospital and Ryan's eyes lit up. Ryan invited Greenlee to accompany him to the hospital and Greenlee was only too willing to accept the invitation. After Ryan left the room, Greenlee told Leo never to mention anything about their romantic adventures. Leo agreed, but warned Greenlee that the next time she hit him, he'd slug her back.
Arlene urged Adam not to take out his aggressions on a helpless --- and presumably expensive vase. Arlene sat down next to Adam on the sofa and told him that she knew what it felt like to lose a loved one. She likened Adam's grief for Stuart to the pain she felt over the death of her boss-slash-lover. Adam knew that Arlene must have come to collect on the money he'd promised her. When asked how much she wanted, Arlene requested a cool $100,000. Adam matched her request and offered to give her as much as $500,000. Arlene's mouth nearly hit the floor. There was just one minor setback: Adam was no longer handling his finances. Arlene was furious and lashed out at Adam for toying with her. She pointed out that all of Adam's friends were only his friends because he was a billionaire. So, in a sense, Arlene was telling Adam that no one would bow down to him if he had no money. Adam told Arlene that he was headed to bed, but Arlene noted that he'd probably get no sleep. Adam nodded and, for one reason or another, chose to hang out and have a drink with Arlene. Adam had a bit too much too drink and nodded off. Arlene smiled devilishly and remarked that this was "just like old times." She looked at Adam and purred, "Arlene, honey. You've finally found your pot of gold.""
